In Week 3 of our DNA series, Ps. Colin Missingham exploreswhat it means to be a true multiplier in the Kingdom of God. Looking at the example of Israel in Egypt, the Parable of the Talents, and the call to discipleship, this message challenges us to move beyond comparison, division and isolation.

Discover three key traits of Kingdom multipliers: theyrelate to others through the cross, they measure increase instead of comparison, and they ensure that no one walks alone. As followers of Jesus, we are called to follow someone, lead someone, and help advance God's Kingdomtogether. No matter what opposition comes our way, God's people were never designed merely to survive—they were created to multiply.

This Resurrection Sunday message explores the power behind one of the most profound declarations of Jesus: “I am.” From the sacred name of God to the risen Christ who holds the keys to death and Hades, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t just rise again—He secured authority over eternity.

More than that, He places those keys into our hands.

In this powerful and practical message, Ps. Colin challengesus to recognise our identity as key carriers—people entrusted with bringing hope, truth and life into the world around us. What may seem small or insignificant can unlock something eternal in someone else’s life.

Life is short. Death is near. Eternity is real.
So the question is: are we carrying the keys?

In a world that often feels heavy and overwhelming, thismessage challenges us to return to the heart of Easter: a Saviour who meets uswhere we are, carries what weighs us down, and calls us to do the same forothers. Not only are we invited to have our own “feet” cleaned, but also tostep into the lives of others with grace, humility, and compassion.

This is a powerful reminder that because of Easter, we don’tlive like the rest of the world—we live transformed, continually renewed, andanchored in the hope of Jesus.
